Darkside Install Problems

This is a discussion on Darkside Install Problems within the Motorola Atrix Hacks forums, part of the Motorola Atrix Development category; I am having some problems and am hoping someone can help me out, I am trying to install Darkside on an unlocked ATT Atrix 4G:
...

When i run fastboot -w (it erases user data without problem), but when it goes to erase cache it just sits there, not doing anything for about 15 minutes. Then i just CTRL+C in command line, and do a reboot. (What is supposed to happen here, any idea how long it takes?)

How do i wipe Dalvik cache? is this a fastboot command?

finally when i boot into recovery, my option is apply update from sd card (is that the correct option to flash the ROM?)

if i try that it tells me the the update package signature verifcation failed. and it aborts the install. Am i missing a step here, for flashing the ROM?

Fastboot -w might not clear cache if your bootloader isn't unlocked, I'm not sure. But I know you can clear cache in CWM recovery as well as clear dalvik cache in the Advanced menu in CWM recovery.
There should be an option like install zip from SD card in CWM recovery.

So I ask you...If not, then you may not have a good recovery. Have you unlocked your bootloader, if so did you flash a CWM recovery yet? If so, which one?

I have much experience with unlocked bootloaders and custom ROMs on the original ATRIX. I will do my best to hold your hand through any problem, small or large, on any phone. Please open up a thread in the help section (or Rescue Squad section if your phone is in dire need) or PM me. I don't bite
